I was a little excited when I saw that Stacy Nash had designed a little something in RED a couple weeks back.... As my early morning stitch, I could barely put it down!!!
I made mine a tad wider ( about 2") than the pattern specified... I knew mine would hold my ipad..... 32 count Zweigert linen~ stained by me~ GAST Country Redwood 1 over 2~
And, I wanted to hand stitch a few turkey stitches along the bottom... I used Size 10 Camel DMC Cebelia Crochet Cotton Thread...Tonal and subtle is my style....
x x x x Tiny "x's" line the top edge inside....... x x x x
The back of the piece has lots of distressing and coffee staining....
Here is what the front and back look like when the bag is opened...
This was really a fun project, especially knowing it was something I could use and be functional~
Soon...... Giveaway information~ I promise!!!
Smiles.....

I gasped and almost choked on my donut. Glorious! And that fob - where did you find the case and that little spool? I'm going back to look again.
Love this!!

So lovely, I love stitching in the morning. Can't wait till the sun rises earlier.
I laughed when I read Marly's comment but I can identify with her reaction! This is absolutely stunning! You've done a fabulous job! Everything is perfect!!!
Beautiful work!
Your bag is super
Gorgeous! (Silent Stitches has some reproduction watch cases available if anyone is looking for one.)
It's beautiful! great job. I'm working hard on finishes this year, and I'm wondering if you offer any kind of bulk discount for finishing ornaments?

Such a pretty project, the linen and that color of red!
too cute!
Top notch again! Faye every finish of yours is lovely:) Anxious to hear more about your giveaway!
Just beautiful!
Oh my gosh! I am so going to do this! What an inspiration you are! I hope to meet you this coming fall. I am definitely coming to Myrtle Beach for the stitching retreat! You are such an inspiration to use my heirloom sewing skills and incorporating cross stitch handwork to creating beautiful useful items!
So beautiful Faye, I love the Turkey Stitches. I am going to try my hand at those one day. I really want to learn to do more decorative stitches on my finishes.
Have a beautiful day and try and stay warm. I am not liking this COLD weather.
Your added touches always make your finishes so special, Faye--just love what you've done with this red design :)
Adorable, and I agree the fob really caught my eye! Your special little details are what make it. Enjoying a 2nd cup on coffee on a sunny, cold blowing snow day in WI, Nancy E

I really love the fob too!
You are too talented!

Your bag looks wonderful.
Faye, I tried to email you but the mail bounced back. Where did you get the pattern? I've contacted Stacy...no answer! The distributor doesn't have the pattern and various shop owners I contacted have not received patterns or replies from Stacy in weeks!!!!
I would like to try my hand with this bag since yours turned out so beautiful.
Beautiful work, it a lovely bag!
As we say -- nothing like red! Great dye job, and the eXtra stitching is perfect!
Your bag is lovely I like all the different stitches, thank-you for sharing.
Catherine

Simply gorgeous!! Hugs,Jen
